PACQUIAO vs RIOS: THE MACAU MASSACRE
The man that will be across the ring from Pacquiao
is Brandon “Bam Bam” Rios, who’s full steam ahead style has everyone
outside the Rios camp thinking this fight will be a one sided beat down
not in his favor, and entertaining as hell while it lasts.
Can Manny bounce back from the nightmare that still
lingers from his fourth encounter with the Mexican legend Juan Manuel
Marquez?
Can Rios clip Manny with a fight changing punch making him an overnight star in the boxing world?
Manny is not returning to the scene of the crime,
the MGM Grand Garden Arena, he is however returning to the ring after
nearly one year removed from the sport.
The time off could be just what the doctor ordered for Manny, who hasn’t taken any significant time off his whole career.
Staying busy is crucial in order to be sharp and continue to raise a fighter’s profile, at some point though an athlete must rest the body and soul.
The break could do wonders for the “Pacman”, who in
recent years has lost focus in training camp not fully preparing for
fight night letting his busy schedule get in the way.
Rest will either help or push him further down the path to retirement.
Which Manny will show up to fight who knows?
The Pacquiao camp like most camps, has been feeding us a hot paper bag of poop swearing over and over that this is Manny’s best camp ever only to hear the exact opposite after his fights.
Manny may be past his prime but just how far is the important question.
Up until his demise he had Marquez in a tight spot with a broken nose and at least somewhat hurt.
His hand speed and footwork looked better than it
had in previous fights. He got caught with a perfect right hand early
that put him on his back side but was able to right his wrong and was in
back in control.
With the style of Rios this fight and outcome may be
misleading to judge if Manny is back to his old self after getting
plastered head first into the canvas.
Brandon Rios with his power punching ability will be a perfect test to gauge just how sturdy Manny Pacquiao’s chin is.
The man they call “Bam Bam” more than lives up to
his nickname with his come forward aggressive slowly wearing down his
opponents on the inside.
The psycho smile he flashes after an exchange, his
left hook to the head and body, followed by straight right hands, are
his signature punches.
His power jab by itself can be a weapon having already dropped a few guys with a just that straight stiff jab.
